"Roots In Kashmir" is an initiative launched by us, the Kashmiri Pandit Youth, to reclaim our Roots that identify us. Even though we have been hounded out of our homes and hearths in the Kashmir valley, our "Roots" are very much anchored in the Vitasta Valley. This is an initiative to protest and raise the general awareness of public to a level where our "fight for our roots" is felt, heard and acted upon.

Mr Geelani, were you served biriyani for the day? - by Dr Sanjay Parva

Dr Sanjay Parva was 'born and brought up in Kashmir in a sleepy village called Malmoh, that is on the connecting road between Magam (district Budgam) - Pattan (district Baramulla).' (quoted from Sanjay). He left the valley with his parents as everybody else did in what he calls 'one flourishing spring.' Sanjay says "I am still not able to forget home and feel life would have been different there had this turmoil not happened."
